A Pastel portrait demonstration by place du tertre artist Agnes .mpg

Amazing portrait painted with a sure hand and faultless precision by montmartre's Agnes Fabricius.A portrait executed systematically with tinted layers of pastel pencil,with a gradual increase in detail and strength.The resemblance achieved at the end is stunning,yet the artist manages to retain liveliness
in the portrait,which benefits from being executed with tremendous speed and decisiveness.The way the artist renders the eyes is truly astonishing....

it takes about ten minutes to finish one of these?!

it usually takes me hours to days to finish even part of the face in colour. ><;;

amazing work, i'll keep trying to get as good as this. :)

thank yu for posting this up!

[yvadmil]

@PrincessSorra In fact the portrait was executed in 30 minutes.I edited out a lot,including the begining, to keep within the you tube 10 minute deadline,but 30 mins is still very fast.In fact Agnes is probably the fastest portraitist at the place du tertre.

@yvadmil ahh, i was gonna say, dang, ten minutes for that? xD

ahaha, but thirty mins is still just wow..

do yu perhaps have any tips on using pastels? :O

cause i've been practicing with pastels and i always seem to smudge the darker colors and can never do anything about it. ><

[yvadmil]

@PrincessSorra Start with mid-tone then add lighter colours.The darkest colours

should be used right at the end.Pure white highlights are finishing touches too.

Avoid white paper;tinted half-tone paper is much better for blending.Remember

all pastels will become 'dirty' if you overwork the drawing..keep it fast and fresh!
